Games Talks Live Returns to Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow this March
The Scottish Game Developers Association (SGDA) has announced the return of its Games Talks Live series, with a three-city tour taking place across Scotland’s primary games hubs from 24 to 26 March 2026.
The events, which have been a staple of the local industry calendar since 2019, will feature a mix of lightning talks and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration between developers, publishers and investors.
Three Cities, Three Nights
The Games Talks Live March 2026 tour will visit the following venues:
- Tuesday 24 March: Edinburgh (Voodoo Rooms, West Register Street)
- Wednesday 25 March: Dundee (Beat Generator, North Lindsay Street)
- Thursday 26 March: Glasgow (Sloans Ballroom, Argyle Street)
Each evening follows a set format, with doors opening at 16:00 for networking before the first round of talks begins at 17:00. The sessions are interspersed with regular breaks to ensure attendees have ample time to connect with peers and visiting guests.
Speaker Highlights and Accelerator Pitches
This set of events features a diverse range of speakers. Nicoll Hunt, software engineer at Duolingo and former independent developer, will discuss the transition from indie development to a major corporate environment and how to maintain creative chaos within a structured pipeline. Other confirmed speakers include Ronan Suess, technical artist and co-founder of RogueLink, and João Diogo Ramos, founder of the Load ZX Museum.
A significant addition to the March schedule is the inclusion of the SGDA Games Accelerator cohort. These early-stage founders will be pitching their game prototypes and business plans to a cross-section of the industry, marking the culmination of their five-month business development programme funded by the Scottish Government’s Ecosystem Fund.
Supporting the Community
The Glasgow event on Thursday 26 March will also be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person, with a dedicated online co-host managing the digital community and discord discussions.
As a registered charity, the SGDA uses these events to support both the industry and wider charitable causes. Staff of SGDA member studios are entitled to free tickets, while general admission and livestream tickets are available via the official event website.
Tickets and more information can be found at the official SGDA website: sgda.co.uk/gtl

The talks I gave last week went really well, and well received! I asked to be cut from the VOD so you can't see the recording but! I will either make them into a blog post soon and/or show it off again at another scotland games event

I hope you like art history and pretentiousness as a concept. or don't, so I can convince you why it matters. to video games.
